Answer
A
grant citizenship to people.
B
change the Constitution.
C
enforce only the Bill of Rights.
D
make laws to apply the amendment.

Explanation

The enforcement clause, in Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment, gives Congress power to enforce the amendment’s provisions through appropriate legislation. So Congress can make laws to apply the amendment; granting citizenship is addressed elsewhere in the amendment, not by the enforcement clause.
